How to Elevate Your Mood with Food
For the most part, people have been conditioned to think that “comfort” foods are bad for the body and have to be avoided. Often, if your comfort food is a high sugar food or another junk food, this is very true. Otherwise, comfort foods can be very nourishing and good for you. There are some foods that, when you consume them, can boost your mood. If you are feeling a little bit down and need a happiness pick me up, try a few of these.
Eggs, believe it or not, are wonderful for helping you combat depression. Just make sure that you do not toss the egg yolk. The yolk is the most crucial part of the egg in terms of helping raise your mood. Eggs, the yolk particularly, are rich in B vitamins. B vitamins can actually help you boost your mood. This is because they help in bettering the function of your neural transmitters, the components of your brain that control your mood. Eat an egg and feel better!
Put together a trail mixout of various seeds and nuts. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, etcetera are all great for raising your mood. This is because seeds and nuts have plenty of magnesium which boosts your brain’s serotonin levels. Serotonin is the “feel good” natural substance that dictates to your brain how you feel at all times. The more you have of it, the more pleasant you will feel. Nuts, on top of elevating your mood, can be a super protein source.
Cold water fish are great for eating if you want to beat back depression. Wild salmon, herring, mackerel, trout, and tuna are all high in omega-3 fats and DHA. DHA and omega-3s are two things that raise the quality and the function of your brain’s grey matter. It’s true: eating a tuna fish sandwich can basically help you fight depression.
Grains can be wonderful for driving away a terrible mood. Barley, quinoa, millet, teff, etc are all good for helping you feel better. They help you feel full also which can really help to better your mood. It’s easy to feel depressed when you feel famished! These grains can elevate your mood because it’s easy for your body to digest them. They are simpler to digest than other foods which helps kick up your blood sugar levels and that, in turn, improves your mood.
Green tea is truly excellent for your mood. You were just anticipating to read that here, weren’t you? Green tea is loaded with a specific amino acid known as L-theanine. Research has discovered that this amino acid promotes the production of brain waves. This helps better your mental focus while calming the rest of your body. You probably already knew how easy it is to be healthy when you consume green tea. Now you know that applies to your mood also!
As you can see, you don’t have to turn to junk food or foods that are terrible for you just so to feel better! Try some of these instead!
